Honestly it ain't worth the risk. Just don't put 5 peep in. I don't let more than two in the back.

i have et38 and they are ok, lowered 40mm. i had too take the brake drum off and behind it is a plate with 8 welds on, all i did was grind the welds completely flat. the welds dont hold anything on i think they are for your camber so make sure you grind them flat.
